A German Biedermeier gold necklace of about 1840, set with turquoise and seed pearls: a sentimental 'forget-me-not' jewel.Turquoise jewellery became popular in Britain around 1830 and spread across Europe. It was thought to protect its wearer and to stand for true love, and its colour, like forget-me-not flowers, made it a favourite gift to keep the giver in mind. Here robin's-egg turquoise of varying sizes is paired with silvery seed pearls, a sought-after Biedermeier combination.Scrolled links lead to a central panel with two 5cm drops. The links are hollow and worked in repoussé (hammered from behind), a popular way to make a little gold go a long way in the Georgian and early Victorian periods. The drapery shape, made to move and glisten by candlelight, suited the low necklines of the time.A delicate statement necklace for evening or day.Details: c.1840; Germany; 15K gold, later 9K gold clasp; turquoise and seed pearls; length 42cm; central panel 4.5cm x 3cm; drops 5cm; 9.18g.Condition: Excellent despite its hollow construction. All parts are original except the small spring-bolt clasp, a later replacement in 9K gold. All stones are secure.
